Davenport
Ahhh, spring in Davenport. The courtyard is green, the air is sweet, and, in recent years at least, intramurals have fallen by the wayside. But that is the story of springs past. No more 50-point seasons for mother D-port. Let's take a look at our power-house teams this season, shall we? Please note, at the time this was written, field hockey, baseball, and softball had yet to play a game—their omission is not a reflection of their ability. As for soccer, well, that's another story.First, let's stop by my friendly neighbor's and volleyball captain's room, JP Nogues '02. "What?" you cry, "that weak, gimpy, inexperienced Basque is captain? We are doomed!" No, my friends, your analysis of this wily veteran is sadly misinformed. JP is quite experienced. Besides anchoring our champion coed volleyball team in the fall, he captained the respect-able winter men's team. And despite having twisted his ankle in despair when Bill Bradley dropped out of the presidential campaign, he has valiantly sacrificed his body once more to the cause of D-port.
Moving down to the Dive, we can catch the billiards team finishing up a practice round. Their 103-100 edging of Morse is nothing to scoff at. Said captain Annie Sharp '01 of the win, "I brought special chalk and sharpened all our cues. It had nothing to do with skill." Well, she can make all the excuses she wants, but I still think they all are too talented for their own good.
And finally, we end our tour in the courtyard. How many times this year have we commented on the incredible skills of our resident frisbee junkies? Thirty-seven. I know, you thought the question was rhetorical, but I still think the number is impressive. The point is that these guys and girls are damn good. So good that the other teams all look sucky when they play against us. Usually that is due to the fact that the other teams are sucky. But, oh, are we good.
